    Epa is trying to outlaw Gliders really soon.. That's why I got a Cascadia with DD15.., it's not the most fanciest not I have had since June 2012 and I've never had a breakdown accept for a leaking coolant hose.. Had to get towed once from a truck stop because my def got clogged but after seeing how they unclogged it I haven't had any problems.. Changed my dpf filter last summer and that's it. Knock on wood. But I'm sure when I'm done paying for it and darn near close it'll start with the bs lol... That's only right lol

    You've prob got a couple years tops to get in one, then they'll be no longer.

    Hey, for you guys talking about going FB, you might check out Admiral-Merchants. I was there and to be honest, if I didn't have to come off the road because of family issues I would still be there. You do have to have your own trailer, though. Just sayin Mercer and LS aren't the only choices.

    Yeah, the key is to get one before the EPA can make it impossible.

    The whole CARB/EPA thing probably added a little more time though.

    I saw the coolant light was lit. Did you ignore it? I could see the truck shutting down after some time if coolant is not added. I have to add a quart every couple of weeks.

    That happened after the "boom" within the engine. I lost oil pressure and coolant levels dropped immediately oh and yeah my engine was smoking.
    When i went to inspect i saw oil or maybe coolant around the seams of some areas around the engine.
    Tow driver said he saw "stuff coming out from under the engine".
    A blown head gasket could have caused me to lose all my coolant.
    Yeah not good :biggrin_25513:

    Shop is closed till Monday, rental cars are sold out. Sooo i will be sitting here beating my head against the steering wheel for a bit.
    Did I mention I hate West Virginia
